Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper is expected to miss some time with a possible MCL sprain and running back Devonta Freeman will also miss a couple weeks with a foot sprain. These injuries will allow for the Atlanta Falcons to utilize their young skill players and see what they bring to the table.
With Freeman out for two weeks minimum and Ito Smith out for the remainder of the season, Brian Hill and Ollison have a great opportunity to fill in their role. Freeman has been less than a productive back and maybe we need to view all of our options going forward.
